I am a passionate, curious, and determined student who is willing to learn and grow.
My passion and curiosity to learn to enable me to be adaptable and versatile in any environment.

I have recently graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a Diploma in Business Processes and Systems Engineering. I will be pursuing my Bachelor of Science majoring in Medical Science and Neuroscience at the University of Sydney.

Having several experiences in various industries since a young age helped me learn different skills that can be applied in different workplaces. I believe that despite my young age, I am able to learn fast and fit well in any environment to ensure that a common goal can be achieved.

I started working part-time in the FnB industry when I was 15. I had to work with a group of people while trying to prepare and serve food to our customers. This helped me grow as a team player and a leader, as well as my customer service skills.

I also worked as a freelance coach/instructor. One of my job scopes was to organize, plan, and conduct lessons for children, and had to actively communicate with their parents. This especially helped me further improve my communication skills as well as patience. Having to teach different people also enabled me to be more adaptable to changes as I had to adapt myself to react to the different students' personalities and thus constantly had to learn and change new ways to convey my instructions.

During my Internship period, I was involved in the company's marketing and operations. I had to be creative and come up with new and unique marketing plans and campaigns and had the opportunity to execute them. I have learned to allocate manpower, and resources and oversee the operations of the campaigns that I was involved in. Having been put in a high position enabled me to hone my leadership abilities.

I graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a diploma in Business Process and Systems Engineering. While the course prepared me with some knowledge and technical skills needed generally in the Business industry, it equipped me with basic IT and computer skills such as the various Microsoft and google apps that are commonly used in workplaces.

I am currently waiting to commence my undergraduate studies at the University of Sydney, pursuing my Bachelor of Science, majoring in Medical Science as well as Neuroscience. Studying pre-med in a foreign land may be a long, tough, and lonely journey. However, I am confident that I am able to persevere through and pursue my dreams.
